Windows 7: BSOD Driver or Hardware?

I have been getting erratic Blue screens for over a month now. I had re-installed 64 bit Win7 Ult and they stopped for awhile but have recently begun again.

I have run memtest to 800% with zero errors, run prime 95 for hours with no errors, Furmark in extreme burn in mode for hrs, and run HD tune to determine the integrity of my HD. All to no avail. This makes me feel it is a driver issue, which can be very difficult to track down. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

I cannot find a good download for the Atheros driver. I found one site and attempted to use the .exe which they supplied, but this did not work. After finishing install/update my computer would no longer recognize the device...Weird, all that was required was for me to replug in the usb card. Unfortunately when windows autodetected, it ended up with the same driver version as before.

I have seen the driver download available (supposedly) through several second party programs.

As I am naturally distrustful of such programs/downloads I was wondering if there was a program you would recommend? "Driver whiz" or "driver fetch", are either reputable, or should I try something else?

I succesfully updated the realtec network adapter. Thanks for that link.
